Song of the Week – ‘Headrush’ by Surrogates

The change of opinionThe common respect that we shareHas blurred in my visionSo you’ve given up on yourselfYou have always disappointed me so wellNot a bone of trust, noYour words have lost their weightMutual shame

FireMy soul is on fireDid you get what you wanted?That’s a ‘no’What you wanted you wasted itLiarYou’re a goddamn lairDid you get what you wanted?That’s a ‘no’What you wanted you wasted it

Ooo take that inhaleAnd hold your breath till you are wellProblems will surely fix themselves

FireMy soul is on fireDid you get what you wanted?That’s a ‘no’What you wanted you wasted itLiarYou’re a goddamn lairDid you get what you wanted?That’s a ‘no’What you wanted (x6)You wanted this

And sometimes you comeAnd sometimes you go awayIts another mistakeIts a circle of rage (x2)

Is this your head rush?Is this your haze?Is this the bed that you have made?Is this the easier way?

About the song from vocalist Haseena Peera:

This song is about a failing relationship between best friends from the perspective of only one of them. This is a song about letting a person go from my life. It is also about how one friend is coping with the split with marijuana, while the other is in a deep state of depression and anger and dealing with their life with marijuana. I focused on the hypocrisry of myself (the friend letting go) and my need for marijuana (fire) to relax from the stress of separating myself from a dear friend, but viewing the other as a zombie to drugs, destroying themselves by smoking more than me, and heading in a swirl of depression from their own problems; problems that kept them from seeing that I was drifting away.
